Sometimes in life, we find that we need to change what we are doing.  Not because it's not working, but because it's time to try something new.  In June, Ed and I will no longer be facilitating the group at the hospital.  Instead, I have signed on as a voluteer with the hospital and will be working in the rehabilitation center with the families of new survivors.  I hope to help families as they transition from hospital to home.  I feel that the high divorce rate is related to lack of education for the families of brain injury survivors.  There are so many changes that happen and without education, families can get lost, become frustrated and just walk away.  My hope is that I can help even one family, it would make me happy to know that I have helped someone along their journey.
The support group will go on.  It's well established and full of great people.  We will be there off and on after June, but we want to concentrate on the new survivors and their families.  We will continue our on-line support through facebook and yahoo.
Peace to all,
Sheri Van V.
